2. Imani Winds

Beautifulstark, aggressive, ethereal, playful, thoughtful Houston Culture MapOver the course of their 20+ year career, Imani Winds has discovered what audiences value most from their concerts: a sense of connectionwith the music, the performers, the composers, the artistry and beyond. Seamlessly navigating between classical, jazz and world music, no other quintet has forged such a unique, dynamic path through the chamber music landscape. Their clear commitment to promoting diversity in the arts, while still embracing the tradition of the wind quintet repertoire, yields a powerful marriage of the past and the present. The performance features Ligetis spirited Six Bagatelles, Reena Esmails India-inspired The Light is the Same, John Harbisons graceful, melodic Quintet for Winds, Lalo Schifrins jazz-inspired La Nouvelle Orleans and more.Sponsored by MSU Federal Credit Union.
